Synopsis

She was cast out for wearing red.
The wilderness was supposed to kill her.
Instead, something in the forest claimed her.

Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1631.

Rosamund Harlow is driven from her Puritan settlement for the sin of defiance—banished into the winter wilderness with nothing but a basket of bread, a red shawl, and the knowledge that the god she was raised to fear will not save her.

Her only hope is her grandmother.

A rumored healer.
A whispered witch.
The one woman who ever made Rosamund feel seen.

But when Rosamund reaches the forest cottage, the hearth is cold, the door stands open, and the woods are already watching.

A woodsman from the settlement begins following her path through the snow—a man whose faith is as sharp as a blade, and whose interest settles on Rosamund like a claim.

When he decides she belongs to him, the forest does not remain silent.

Something ancient moves in the dark.
Something territorial.
Something that does not tolerate rivals.

This is not a story about taming the beast.

It is a story about what happens when the beast chooses you.
